Pros

Can not speak to the other functions of the company but within federal consulting the work schedule is flexible and there is very little oversight so long as the work gets done. Pay and benefits are also a plus.

Cons

As with most government contracting/consultative positions, there is little room for growth, the work is often boring and you quickly become a number (revenue) to the company. Leadership cares only about whether the contract is funded and little about job satisfaction.

Pros

Hired as a "fire-hire," the position is disaster based and 100% travel so you get to travel domestically paid for by the company. When working, pay is good, you can make a lot very quickly with overtime. Being part-time, I can take time-off whenever I want for as long as I want.

Cons

For my position, no natural disasters = no work. Living out of a hotel for months SUCKs and burn-out is real as you could be working 7 days a week, 12 hours a day for months on end. There's no added compensation for taking on an on-site lead position even though the workload triples. As a part-time employee, you have to pay more for benefits when working versus not working. There's a huge disconnect between part-time employees in the field and the full-time employees that do office work and upper management. Part-time workers are not prioritized unless they're willing to do whatever is thrown at them without complaints. The employee turn-over rate in the field is crazy.
